KRDO’s latest detailed forecast

Today: Get ready for a MUCH cooler day. That will be the big story for your Friday. Temperatures will drop into the 60s for most, including across the plains (that's about a 20-30 degree drop compared to Thursday). We'll start off with thick clouds, rain and areas of patchy fog. The heavier rain will dwindle during the late morning and early afternoon before another round of showers redevelops during the late afternoon and evening. With rain expected to continue for a majority of the day, the potential for flash flooding will continue, so we'll have to watch that threat closely.

Tonight: A few scattered storms are possible into the late evening and overnight hours. Expect a mostly cloudy sky with lows dropping to the 40s for most areas.

Extended: We are keeping a good chance for storms in the forecast on Saturday, with highs staying in the 60s and 70s. Storms will begin to decrease in coverage and intensity on Sunday. We anticipate a break in storms for the majority of the region on Monday; temperatures should return to the 80s by then. However, we're tracking another system that will start impacting southern Colorado Tuesday. This will drop temperatures and boost the chances for rain.
